You can take the coins out of their holders, they won't get damaged and you will get better pictures without the glare. First coin is Aurelian like this: http://www.coinproject.com/coin_det...hp?coin=6047 Second coin looks like and Alexandrian Tetradrachm, maybe one of the "Julias" Edited by Biancasdad 02/17/2017 8:19 pm Report this Post to the Staff
echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 02/17/2017 8:14 pm The first one is an antonininus of Aurelian and the second may be Salonia, it would be better to remove the coins from the 2x2's and take beter pictures. Report this Post to the Staff
